Outdoor Tech OT0042 Wired Chips – Universal Helmet Audio System (Black)
These are the Chips, the universal wireless helmet audio system by Outdoor Tech. Connect them to any Bluetooth device, drop them into nearly any helmet with an audio liner and your skull will be dripping with Kenny G’s undeniable melodies for the next ten hours. They can play and pause, raise and lower volume, answer calls and skip tracks, all without making you remove your mittens and without a blinking blue light adding nerd status to your backside three. Just think: warm hands, fresh powder, two-button total audio control, and no wires inside your jacket. Waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof, the Kodiak is the high-capacity portable power bank that goes anywhere. Thanks to switchable output, it can charge almost any USB-compatible gadget you own, including high-draw devices like tablets. It’s rugged housing can withstand a beating while remaining compact and light enough to travel with you. And it’s so affordable, you’ll “bear-ly” notice the dent in your wallet. If you want more classic bear jokes like that one, stick around. We have plenty.

huge disapointment huge disappointment here, I matched those with a smith aspect helmet and I thought that the boast of 40 mm drivers were going to deliver.Pros- packaging and presentation is great- headphones have a nice premium feel- easy to set up and installCons:- volume was super low even by maxing phone and built in line control- the moment you want them to become loud there’s a horrible tinny sound- can barely hear others when receiving phone calls…
These are the BOMB!!! Even with gloves, it is easy to answer the phone, turn the volume up or skip a song. Great upgrade if you have a K2 helmet with audio already in it.
